It’s like a regular encrypted chat but with peepholes and racism.
YET?
How about: “You probably should trust or use X at all… ever.”
I wouldnt trust X with a picture of my shoes
It’s proprietary, how could you possibly trust it?
Do you think this is the face of a liar
offering me end-to-end encrypted chat
No one - not even X - can access or read your messages
This key is then stored on X’s servers
So…they’re just blatantly lying?
It’s encrypted with a 4 digit pin so they’ll have to spend at least 316.8809e-10 years on brute-forcing it.
That’s why my PIN is 5 digits: 12345
One. Two. Three. Four. Five?
That’s amazing. I’ve got the same combination on my luggage.
The Muskrat lying? No, never!
Right, they have the key, and the lock, but the key isn’t in the lock, so it’s utterly impossible for them to access it.
Typical corpo doublespeak
No - did you even read the article? An x employee confirmed that they’re using the “special” servers to store the keys that mean that they cannot see them. The author then says that the employee confirming it doesn’t mean they do, because the author doesn’t want it to be true.
TL;dr of the article :
- They keep your private key on their servers.
- Their implementation allows for AITM attacks.
- It’s closed source.
- There’s no perfect forward secrecy.
This secret stays between you, me, and Elon.
I hope politicians use the hell out of it, so we can see what they really think when it gets (inevitably) hacked in a few weeks.
They keep your private key on their servers.
Then it’s literally not even E2EE, lol
What is the “A” in “AITM”?
Anal
This is the first time I heard of AITM, thought it was a new name for MITM:
It’s just MITM but with extra steps
Ah yes, Malcolm in the Middle is behind this all along.
Adversary
Aliens
Anyone
Elon.
Apple
Administrator
They are stupid, but not that stupid.
Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence.
I used to give the benefit of the doubt but when there are bad incentives in play and shit keeps happening… then perhaps that is naïve sometimes, unfortunately.
Do you mean bad incentives?
And sure, I don’t disagree, but these people are also not actually that smart. I would worry more about this getting hacked in a week way before Elon gets a chance to use it against anyone.
Thanks, I do.
…yet? How bout just not trusting it at all?
Hah, beat me by 17 seconds!
That “yet” is the narrative hook to trick us into feeling like it will soon be trustworthy, and that our assumed suspicions refer to a temporary state of untrustworthiness. Clever girls!
Feels like Bluesky’s federation promise.
I think you can install your own bluseky instance and federated with others.
I don’t consider the PDS stuff to be fully federated. That’s just keeping your data on a different server, as far as I understand it. To be federated it needs to be a full interoperable server like mastodon, or lemmy.
You should also be able to host a non federated instance, or one with limited federation.
If they have moved past that, and I can open a server and have people sign up for accounts, then I stand corrected.
Correct, foolish human! Now sign up.
Yet? What kind of idiot would imagine that X would or could provide actual secure communication?
Or ever.
Our good friend Elon cannot be trusted? I don’t believe you, this must be propaganda to discredit his good manners.
Accusing gentle Elon of a misdeed?
Or ever
Quick everyone, install this just so that if Pete Hegseth invites people to the next airstrikes chat group, your satirical JD Vance account will be next to the real JD Vance’s account and he’ll probably add you both and figure it out later.
